President Visits in EcuadorThe President of Ecuador recently visited the Cuenca area and reaffirmed his government's commitment to developing the legal, fiscal and regulatory framework for a mining industry in Ecuador which is socially and environmentally responsible and shares the economic benefits in an equitable way. Iamgold fully supports the President's stated initiatives and is looking forward to working with the new Minister of Oil and Mining, Dr. Galo Alfredo Chiriboga Zambrano, to bring about positive changes for the development of world-class deposits such as Quimsacocha. The prefeasibility study is expected to be completed in the first quarter of 2008.
